Well, I admit that I can also not get it to work. The problem is that I don't know enough about the X-server to know how it is supposed to work. I tried it with an older XBoard version (4.4.3) which still had the old key-binding mechanism. This had a default key binding (hard-coded in XBoard itself) of 'v' for FlipViewProc(). And that works. But if I try to bind 'x' (which did not have a binding) to FlipViewProc as well through the .Xdefaults method described in the manual, nothing happens when I press 'x'.
So the problem does not seem to be that something was changed in XBoard (which should be solvable by using the MenuItem() wrapper to indicate the menu functions, rather than the old 'Proc' naming), but that the ~/.Xdefaults (or ~/.Xresources) way of defining a key binding does not work at all. I am pretty sure that when you could devise a way to define your own key binding in that older version (rather than using the hard-coded default bindings), that same method would work in the 4.7.3 as well (using the new MenuItem(...) indication of the menuProcs). Of course 4.7.3 has its own hard-coded key bindings as well, and these do work. The question why you would want to change them is still not answered.
